Well, it’s been a slow few weeks for photography for me. I started out the year with a lot of shooting, though, mostly thanks to participating in a free, low-stakes, online class. I thought having some prompts would help push me to get uncomfortable and get out there and shoot more, as well as learn some new things.
I recently divided “The Natural” gallery into two galleries, “Creatures” and “Environments,” to keep it from growing too quickly. I also added a few more shots to my galleries. The one I am most excited about is a bobcat I caught out at Sweetwater Wetlands here in Tucson. I had heard tale of this bobcat but had never seen it, even when others reported that it was around.
Other added shots are the Rattlesnake and Kestrel Hawk in Creatures, Saguaros with a snow-capped Mt. Lemmon, Gate in front of the Vermillion Cliffs in Environments, Sitting Man and Street Trumpet in Humans, Tohono O’odham Water Tower in Ideas, and a few new ones in Water. I hope you enjoy.
To wrap up this post, I was inspired to meet Chip Thomas yesterday, just by happenstance. Chip is a medical physician and photographer who has turned his photographs into beautiful, large-scale murals, particularly on Diné land in northern Arizona where he has lived since 1987. He has an incredible story and makes beautiful photos. Find more at jetsonorama.net.
